[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2698505, member: 12952"] [SIZE=6][B]California Is Too Expensive For Poor People[/B][/SIZE] California’s [URL='http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/article136478098.html']population decreased[/URL] steadily from 2000 to 2015, and a large portion of that number comes from those without a college degree or high school diploma. Those living on an income at or below the official poverty line — about 2.5 million — left the state from 2005 through 2010, and only 1.7 million replaced them in that time frame. California has the highest cost of living of any state in the nation, with the exception of Hawaii and New York. It also has one of the highest poverty rates. “Why are people leaving? Economic reasons, the high cost of living, are certainly a part of it,” said Hans Johnson, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California. “For those people (near the poverty line), California is not viable.” [/QUOTE]
